Congratulations for choosing the University
of Auckland to further your career, grow your

Work, you will connect with people who are

The faculty offers excellent postgraduate
study options for professionals and
researchers that you can study across our

Learning, Development and Professional
Practice; Critical Studies in Education;
Counselling, Human Services and Social
Work; and Māori and Indigenous Education
(Te Puna Wānanga), as well as inter-faculty
programmes to help you advance your
knowledge and scholarship.
Our programmes are designed to challenge
your thinking, contribute to new knowledge
and find innovative ways to improve the social
and educational outcomes of individuals and
communities in New Zealand and around the
world. Flexible taught and research study
options, including online and intensive block
courses during school holidays, are available
for many of our programmes to suit the needs
of working professionals.
You will learn with academic staff who are
nationally and internationally recognised for
their teaching and research excellence. We

these fields.
